"The Rearing and Marriage of Female Foundlings" is a notable fresco by the Italian painter Domenico di Bartolo, created between 1441 and 1442. This work is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Pellegrinaio (Pilgrim's Hall) in the Hospital of Santa Maria della Scala in Siena, Italy. The hospital, one of Europe's oldest, was dedicated to caring for the sick, poor, and abandoned, including foundlings.

Di Bartolo's fresco is significant for its depiction of the charitable practices of the hospital and the social concern for the welfare of foundlings during the Renaissance. The artwork illustrates the compassionate and structured approach taken by the institution in the upbringing and eventual marriage of orphaned girls, which was a progressive social service for its time.

The fresco is divided into different scenes that narrate the life stages of the foundlings under the care of the hospital. It shows the admission of the infants, their education and upbringing, and the dowry provided to them for their marriage, emphasizing the hospital's role in securing their future. The detailed representation of the interiors and the figures in contemporary attire provide valuable insights into the daily life and social customs of 15th-century Siena.

Domenico di Bartolo's work is praised for its humanistic approach and the skillful use of color and composition. The fresco stands as a testament to the artist's mastery and the broader cultural and philanthropic context of the Italian Renaissance. As part of the larger fresco cycle in the Pellegrinaio, which includes works by other artists such as Vecchietta and Priamo della Quercia, "The Rearing and Marriage of Female Foundlings" contributes to the overall narrative of the hospital's charitable work and is an essential piece of Sienese art history.
